Ill be your dragon
I see your smile
Through your alien face

Without the mass graves
How can we take this land

WE

Elephant.
Right, left, or center.
We The People are the core
Of our nation’s soul and we must defend her.

Something
...I have a feeling deep inside,
Feeling I could not put aside.
Something strong shakes and stirs me up.

My mind grieves the inhumane acts.
My heart aches in know...

Another Curtain Call
...Staring at the mirror’s image,
I see what others see;
but can they see the need for love
so deep inside of me?

Waiting In The Metaphorical Rain

But I will never end my crusade
As long as you let me try to persuade,
Just know my romance is no charade.

But I will still show y...

Heal the wounds between us
Put aside the strife which separates
Lay aside our differences

Despite our differences
Let us feast...

...Life in a Jar
I’d like to find a special jar
To put aside some life,
A jar that keeps both face and form,
And stints the scourge of change.
I’d put therein, a rusted leaf,
Or summer’s one ...

The view

I will say it once more
Everyone is saying

Believing in God is a must
In him you must trust
So much doubt going around
Unsure of where our lives are bound

You got your tin star pinned there on your vest.
You got your hat pulled way down low
Yet your heart beats fast there in your chest.

Bad Day
...I had a bad day
yesterday
trying my best to put

my happy face on
but it seems to be gone
I'll start with a smile
and go the extra mile
to put aside dark thoughts
and do what...

Mothers-Yours-Mine

his crib - a newfangled breast without arms; only the arm
of an anti-motherly technique sold by the public freak.
